Tunnelling

Our team of dispute and transactional construction lawyers, focussing on civil engineering projects within energy, transport and infrastructure, work on a spectrum of tunnelling related matters. These incorporate advising contractors, subcontractors, consultants and engineers, as well as employers, developers and government agencies.

With extensive experience in a variety of tunnelling projects, including power plants and hydropower, underground railways, road construction and airport infrastructure, we understand the commercial landscape and procurement process at all levels.

Our specialist team of lawyers, highly recommended by independent legal directories, advise clients on the full-range of tunnelling projects across Europe, South America and Southeast Asia. From procurement through to project delivery and disputes, we advise on design and geotechnical issues, ground conditions, as well as major tunnel collapses and tunnel boring machine (TBM) procurement and failures.

We additionally collaborate with the insurance industry to ensure best practices in risk management for tunnelling projects.
